Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) has a worldwide distribution. This survey of 20 otolaryngologic practices throughout the United States confirmed a variation in the frequency of AFRS relative to endoscopic sinus procedures performed for all other diagnoses. The highest incidence occurred in Memphis, Tennessee at 23%, with three other southern practices reporting a frequency of at least 10%. In the northern locations the frequency ranged from 0 to 4%. No correlation with mould counts was demonstrated, possibly because of incomplete mould data relative to most of the surgical locations.
变应性真菌性鼻-鼻窦炎(AFRS)在全球范围内均有分布。这项对美国20家耳鼻喉科医疗机构的调查证实,相对于因其他所有诊断而进行的鼻窦内窥镜手术,AFRS的发病频率存在差异。发病率最高的是田纳西州的孟菲斯,为23%,其他三家南方医疗机构报告的发病率至少为10%。在北方地区,发病率在0%至4%之间。未发现与霉菌计数存在相关性,这可能是因为相对于大多数手术地点,霉菌数据不完整。
